The Best of Tucson

Whether you’re a resident or are visiting from out of town, to fully experience everything Tucson has to offer, you need to get outside. Explore Tucson Outdoors offers the details you need to easily find 20 of the Arizona city’s top outdoor locations and a wide variety of activities, including trails in botanical gardens, wetlands, canyons, and forests. The trails are split between walks in the city and hikes in Tucson’s wild backyard, so you can enjoy outings in places like nearby Saguaro National Park, the Santa Catalina Mountains, and Tucson Mountain Park. The full color guide’s pocket-sized format is great for a backpack or back pocket, and every site description includes maps, color photos, and directions.
